Dubai Sustainable City driverless vehicles project enters next stage
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced that it has embarked on the fourth phase of its driverless vehicles project at Dubai’s Sustainable City.
The announcement comes as part of RTA’s efforts to boost Dubai’s strategy of having as much as 25% of public transport operating autonomously by 2030.
“The trial run of the autonomous vehicle has started in the Sustainable City following three stages of successful test runs,” said Ahmed Bahrozyan, CEO of... [Lire la suite]

Two ex-Google engineers built an entirely different kind of self-driving car
A new startup that proposes a different spin on autonomous transportation came out of stealth today. The company, called Nuro, was founded by two former lead Google engineers who worked on the famed self-driving car project. Unlike the plethora of self-driving startups out there, Nuro isn’t focused on reconfiguring robot taxis or autonomous trucks, but on designing a new type of vehicle altogether.
Nuro is focused on deliveries, specifically the... [Lire la suite]

Self-driving scooter to save riders from self-driving cars

The benefits of self-driving technology for cars and trucks is obvious, but the applications for autonomous technology on vehicles of the two-wheeled variety are a little harder to fathom. All the weather and road rash exposure of a motorcycle, but none of the fun? What's the point? Turns out there's a very good... [Lire la suite]

Why Driverless Delivery of Goods Is Likely to Arrive Before Passengers
In the wait for self-driving technology, cell-phone toting tech bros may have to cede their spot in line to pizzas, Craigslist couches and the mounting ephemera of e-commerce.
The future—at least in the near-term—will not only be driverless, but sans passenger as well.
The early conversations around driverless cars have focused on robot taxis because taking the human driver out of a cab seemed like the quickest path to profitability. But an increasing number... [Lire la suite]

9 Startups In India Working On Self Driving Technology
Self driving technology has been one of the most talked about tech in the last one decade. With the likes of global tech giants such as Google, Tesla giving major goals into bringing self driving vehicles on road, India isn’t lagging much behind when it comes to efforts in automation technology. We have earlier seen companies like Tata willing to invest into this field, TCS developing self driving Nano, Infosys bringing self driving rikshaw, Tech Mahindra’s reported... [Lire la suite]

Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Vehicles
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has taken the automotive industry by storm to drive the development of level-4 and level-5 autonomous vehicles. Why do you think AI has become so popular now, though it has been around since the 1950s? Simply put, the reason behind this explosion of AI is the humongous amount of data that we have available today. With the help of connected devices and services, we are able to collect data in every industry, thus fueling the AI revolution. While... [Lire la suite]

Global Survey of Autonomous Vehicle Regulations
Most people today realize it is only a matter of time before self-driving vehicles revolutionize our transportation and delivery systems. While breakthroughs in self-driving technologies have thus far come from a cluster of star companies such as Google Waymo, Ford, GM, and Tesla, the important role of lawmakers and local authorities in the research and development process cannot be overlooked.
Without government permits, testing self-driving cars on public roads is almost... [Lire la suite]

Autonomous driving and fleet
Autonomous driving technologies are developing fast. But, despite the buzz around the potential impact of self-driving options, aspects such as timing, uptake and penetration remain hard to predict. The new technologies that make autonomous driving possible also bring with them possibilities for completely new mobility models and services. In addition, developments based on networks, sensors, mobile communication, real-time information, and new levels of connectivity are changing our... [Lire la suite]

NEXYAD at the Autonomous Vehicle Conference in Paris : REGARDS CROISES ET DIALOGUE SUR LE VEHICULE AUTONOME
NEXYAD presented a paper to this conference (organized by SIA).
Presentation was about SafetyNex, an Artificial Intelligence algorithm that gives Autonomous Vehicles the awareness of risk, and that makes them more robust to unknown situations, safer, and more efficient.
